Christine Yip Joins Ensue as Co-founder & CMO to Build Shared Memory Layer for AI Agents

Christine Yip, formerly of GensynAI, has announced her decision to join Ensue as co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer. After six months of exploring new ventures, Yip stated her conviction that "the next wave of intelligence needs new, purpose-built infrastructure," which led her to Ensue. Her move signals a significant focus on foundational technology for advanced AI systems.

Ensue is developing a "shared memory layer for AI agents," described as "agent-native infrastructure" designed to enable developers to create smarter multi-agent systems. This technology aims to foster "collective intelligence" by providing crucial memory and coordination primitives. The goal is to "unlock an agentic web at scale," making AI systems more capable and beneficial.

The concept of shared memory addresses a critical challenge in AI development, as current large language models often operate without persistent context, leading to fragmented workflows and a lack of continuity. Companies like Mem0 and projects such as Eion are also exploring solutions in this emerging field, emphasizing the need for AI agents to retain and share information across interactions and applications. This "Memory Application Server" approach allows agents to recall user preferences, past actions, and collaborate more effectively.

Yip's background at GensynAI, where she worked on decentralized compute for AI, provides her with firsthand experience in the infrastructure demands of advanced AI. Her transition underscores the growing importance of specialized architectural components beyond raw computational power. The move highlights a strategic shift towards enabling more sophisticated and autonomous AI behaviors.

Ensue plans to release demos and SDKs in the coming weeks and months, inviting developers building for or with AI agents to connect. Christine Yip noted, "I can’t wait to collaborate and see what kind of agent-powered future we can create together," indicating an open approach to fostering an ecosystem around their new memory layer. The company's progress will be tracked via their social media presence.
